Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys are paying for gym memberships, and whereabout you guys go. I'm pretty much done with Ann Arbor, hence no more college gym. I'm residing with my folks for my off year till medical school, and need to get a gym membership.
Thus far, my searching has been fruitless. I've talked with the following gyms, Gold's Gym, YMCA, Curves, Lifetime (friggin' ridiculous price), Bally's, and Powerhouse. The cheapest place I could find was Powerhouse Gym for $250/year, which is still too expensive.
I'm thinking about inquiring with the local colleges in my area, OCC. IIRC, UofM offers like $15/month memberships for non-student/faculty. So if I can score something like this around my area, that'd be great. Any suggestions or ideas of places I should get in touch with? Thanks guys.

I think Lifetime offers student discounts if you have an ID. It is hella expensive but it has everything you need and more! (including GREAT looking women  )

Just a summer membership for students isn't a bad deal at all (even though he's looking for a year), but living 5 minutes from it and having a lot of friends that work there is a fine benefit as well.
I would try and find just a small, privately owned place. What area are you in?

Are you joking?! That's $20 a month. That's .75 a day to use all the equipment/facilites. Wish I could find a place in GR that cheap. You want $20 a year? Get real.

been w/ Bally's since 99. My monthly bill is around $9. It lowers each year you are with the gym. Depending on location Bally's can very in quality. The one I go to is very nice though. Tons of machines, smith machines, cables, free weights from 5lbs-100lbs, a lot of tread mills and ellipticals, steppers, running track, pool, sauna, hot tub, aerobic room/classes, juice/protein bar, etc.
One of the best perks though is most memberships will allow you to go to any Bally's in the country. Not sure if other gyms let you do this. That is a huge benefit in itself. I have been to many Bally's in several different states when out of town for vacation or business.
